2D/3D Medical Animation: TBI - Traumatic Brain Injury Part I

Back


Traumatic Brain Injury - TBI

In correlation with some of the nation's leading medical experts and trial attorneys who specialize in "mild traumatic brain injury (mild TBI)", MediVisuals has developed an interactive animated software that demonstrates how traumatic brain injuries can occur without a significant blow to the head and without being evidenced on imaging studies.

Animated sequences based upon crash tests demonstrate the movements associated with a "typical" sudden deceleration incident. Multiple other animation sequences explain the involved anatomy and show the soft, fragile brain impacting on the hard and uneven inner surface of the skull. The sequences demonstrate how multiple axonal injuries can occur from the shearing forces (both with and without hemorrhage and both with and without positive findings on imaging studies). An additional animation sequence demonstrates how the combined deceleration and rotational forces result in axonal injury in the corpus callosum.

I agree with Stewart. Life long challanges that face TBI survivors should be explored.

I am researching a car accident that occurred in 1958, pre-seatbelts, pre-airbags. The injury resulted in epilepsy of both the partial and tonic-clonic types. Can you advise me on where to find information on such an accident's effect on the victim? Thanking you.

Its a great explanation on one way of how to get MTBI. What would be good is to increase awareness by also doing a follow up on how this can effect your life.
